Brobeil, Oxford, Coma; Olga S. Brobeil, administratrix of said Carl K. Brobeil, deceased Application March 17, 1954, Serial No. 416,796 19 Claims. (Cl. 1373) The present invention relates to a novel method and system for measuring and dispensing liquid or the like fluid material, and more particularly to a measuring system having a simple and accurate volumetric control.

Heretofore, efforts have been made to measure and/ or dispense liquids in required amounts; for example, in the supplying of proper ingredients for use in a Banbury mixer wherein predetermined amounts of accelerator, sclvents, oils, plasticizers and the like are required for each mix in the mixer. However, the devices heretofore employed for this purpose have been complicated devices which are expensive to manufacture, install and operate and which are not capable of flexibility in their use.

The present invention overcomes the difliculties heretofore encountered by providing a measuring and dispensing system which is simple in construction and installation and which is easy to operate and is flexible in that one or more liquids can be measured and dispensed as required without substantial modification of the device.

This is accomplished by providing a plurality of independent sources of supply of the liquid or the like fluid material to be mixed and providing individual pumps for each supply to feed the liquid from the supply into a mixing chamber or vessel and controlling the pumps on the individual supplies in accordance with the volumetric measurement of the liquids in the chamber or vessel.

While the measuring means may take various forms, in the preferred form of the invention the vessel or chamber comprises a cylinder having a piston therein to be displaced by the volume of the fluid as it is fed therein by the individual pumps and in controlling theaction of the pumps in accordance with the displacement of the piston. After the completion of the feeding of the liquids into the vessel, the piston is actuated to cause the mixed fluids to flow from the vessel to a mixer or other receiver for the liquid. Although the piston may be actuated in various ways, in the preferred form of the invention it is actuated by means of an air cylinder having a piston therein connected to the piston in the vessel to move the same.

A feature of the invention resides in the air purging of the line leading from the vessel to the receiver to insure a complete discharge of liquid into the receiver for each measuring and dispensing operation.

Another feature of the present invention resides in the simplicity and flexibility of the control for the motors for the various pumps whereby the amount of liquid fed by the pumps can be readily and easily controlled. Further, if desired, one or more of the pumps may be cut out of the operation by a simple adjustment of switches in the electrical circuit. The measuring and delivering cycle of the device may be fully automatic so as to go through a series of cycles as required or may be manually controlled, if desired. 7

Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the specification and claims when considered in connection with the drawings in which:

Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic view of the apparatus in position to start a measuring and feeding cycle.

Fig. 2 shows a wiring diagram of the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1. V

Fig. 3 shows a modification of the control circuit whereby partial dispensing of the proportioned fluid can be automatically accomplished.

2,774,364 Patented Dec. 18, 1956 While the device of the present invention may be employed to provide predetermined quantities of liquids for use in any type of mixing and/ or dispensing operation, the illustrated form of the invention is arranged to supply a Banbury mixer (not shown) with the required oils or other liquids or chemicals necessary in the mixing process.

As shown in Fig. 1, there are four supply stations A, B, C and D for the liquid. Each has connected thereto a pump PA, PB, PC and PD. These are connected to a common intake pipe 10 through check valves CVA,

CVB, CVC and CVD. The common intake pipe leads into a mixing vessel, such as a cylinder 11. The mixing vessel has displaceable means movable in accordance with the volume of liquid fed into the vessel. While this may be a float or the like, it is herein illustrated as a piston 12 slidably mounted in the cylinder. der has an outlet 13 which leads to the Banbury mixer or other liquid-receiving apparatus and controlled by an air actuated valve 13a. It will be seen, therefore, that as the pumps are each operated they will force the re quired amount of liquid through its corresponding check valve and into the space 11a in the vessel above the piston and will displace the piston in accordance with the volume of liquid therein. The cylinder 11 may have a vent 14 therein to permit the piston to move down easily as the liquid is fed therein.

After the required amount of liquid is fed into the vessel and the piston 12 displaced thereby, the piston is reversed to force the liquid therefrom through the line 13 to the mixer. While this may be accomplished in any suitable Way, it is at present preferred to provide an air cylinder 15 having a vent 15a and piston 16 therein connected by a piston rod 17 to the piston 12 so that as the piston 12 is displaced by the liquid it will also move the piston 16 down in the cylinder. When it is desired to dispense the fluid from the vessel, air cylinder 15 is energized from air supply line 18 through air control valve 18a, causing the piston 16 through its piston rod 17 to force the piston 12 upwardly in the vessel to expel the fluid therefrom to the mixer. vent any feeding back of the fluid into the supply lines.

In the preferred form of the invention the control valve 13a in the line 13 and the air control valve in line 18 from the air supply to the air cylinder are actuated simultaneously.

Line 13 beyond valve 13a is also connected to the air supply through line 18b and controlled by a solenoid valve PSV so that all of the liquid in the line 13 will be purged from the line upon actuation of the valve PSV after the piston 12 has emptied the vessel 11. This insures complete delivery of all of the liquid to the mixer so that there will be no variation in @the amount delivered as might be caused if liquid remained in the line. It also prevents contamination in the fed charge should a change in a formulation of the mixture be made.

If desired, means can be provided for shutting off the air as soon as the line is purged so as to prevent undue passage of air into the Banbury mixer or other device.

This is accomplished in the illustrated form of .the invention, by locating a loW pressure switch LPS in theair line 18b and connecting the switch in the circuit to solenoid valve PSV so as to close the valve upon a predetermined pressure drop in the purged line as would occur when the liquid passes out of the line.

A novel control system is provided, according to the present invention, for regulating the pumps in accordance with the displacement of the piston. This comprises an extension 19 on the piston forming an actuator for a plurality of control switches CSA, CSB, CSC, CSD, PS and RS. These switches may be of any construction but are herein illustrated as single or double contact limit switches. As shown in Fig. 1, these switches are mounted The cylin-.

The check valves in the supply circuits will pre-- onposts 20, Zlextending. above the vessel and areadjustable therealong and clamped in the required position, corresponding to the volumetric displacement in the cylinder, by any suitable meanssuch as set screws 22; 111 ordertofacilitate-thisadjustment, the actuator 19 is provided with ascale 23 which when in the starting position as shewri in Fig. 1, will cooperate-with pointers 24 on the control" switches to indicate the proper location thereof.

The switches are so'a'rranged on the posts 2i 2i that their actuators will be'engaged by the extension 19 in response to volurnetr'ic displacement of the piston and the circuit including thelswitches controlled thereby-so as to accurately proportion the liquids fedto the mixer or other receiver. This probably will be best understood from th'e'discussion of the control Circuit for the pumps which is -shown in Fig. 2. With themain switch MS closed, as

shown therein, the device is. ready for an operation. The actuator 1 9 beingin its uppermost position, each of the switches RS, PS and control switchesfor the pumps CSA, GSB; CSC and CSDare moved-to the position shown to 'start the'cycle'. The circuit from the switch MS extends throughhthe normally closed contactsMDRl of motor disconnect relay MDR- to the S tar-t switch. Upon mover nent of the Start switch to closed position, the circuit is completed through switch'PS which actuates the purge 7' solenoid 'valve'P SVj to purge the line 13' asdescribed above; Also, it closes the circuit through control switch CSA, which has been moved to engage contact CSAL to motor switchMSA. which is in contact with MSAIcon} nected to the" pumpmotor relay PMRA, the energization of the'relay. PMRA causing a normally open contact thereof 'to close and actuate motor PMA for the supply A. This'will cause the pump for supply A tofeed'a predetermined amount of 'fiuid into space'lla in the vessel and displace-the piston until the actuator 19 has moved out of contact with switch CSA; whereupon the switch returns to normal pesitionto engage contact 'CSAZ and the circuit is opened tojMSA stopping pump PMA. Contact CSAZ is connected-to switch CSB and through contact CSB'I, sWitchMSBand contact MSBI provides-a circuit to energize relay PMRB closing the'normally-opencircuit to the motor Pit H310 start the pump for supply 3. This of'engagement with switch CSC. Swiitch CSC thenmoves to normal position in engagement with contact CS CZ and opensthe circuit atCSCl to stop the pump motor PMC.

When it is desired to feed themixed liquids from .the vessel 11 to the receiver, feed switch FS is actuated which energizes feed relay FR, closing a holding circuit therefor through the contacts thereof and the normally closed 7 contacts HRI of holding relajy. HR and also completing a circuit through feed solenoid PSV which supplies actuating fluid to open the liquid control valve 13a and air control;

valve 18a-so that air from the air supplXlSkCan feed into cylinder 15 and force the piston upwardly" in-thevessel 11.

to feed the mixed liquids through line 1 3 to the mixer. The closing of feed relay FR completes the circuit through the motor disconnect relay MDR which opens the normally closed conrtactsMDRl' thereonso as to prevent operation .offthepumpmotor relays and purge solenoid;

valvePSV by switches PS;CSA, CSB, CSC and-CSD connected thereto as theactuator'ismoyed to its uppermgstposition during the feedingof the liquid from the cylinder 11. When the actuaitor l9'reaches the -topof its stroke, it closes recycling switch RS which closes the circuit to the hold relay HR; Energization of 'relay'HR opens-con tact HRI and break-sthe'holding circuit to rel ay FR and deenergizes the same. This-opens the circuit tothe solenoid valve FS V and oau'seslthe valves 13a and18zi tobe closed. and also opens the circuit to relay MDR which reestablishes the circuit to the controlswitchesthrough the normally closed contact MDRi for a new cycle.

As soon as the circuitthrough MDRl is completedr the'circuit including switch PS energizes the solenoid valve PSV to connect air to line 13 to purgethe'same and circuit through CSA to the pump motor PMA is estab=' lished to start the punipPA feeding liquid into the cylinder to move the piston down asdes ribedabOve'. When the actuator moves out'of engagement with switch the circuit will open and the solenoidvalve wflif lQ b fjfl'i air to the line. a l r If the device is'to be stopped 'atthe end of the cycle-as; when the lastbatch is being mixed; the normally clo d switch LBH maybe actuated toopen the circuit, including switch RS which preventsfoperation of the recycling switch to open the hold circuit so that the control circuit 7 will remain open at contacts'MDRl. 7 e V 1n someinstallations it may be desirable tohave asignal incorporatedin the. circuitjto indicate failure of the feed 7 the'required'amount, whereupon actuator 19 moves out Contact CSC2 connects switch CSD in the circuit and through contact CSDl, switch MSD, contactv MSDl energiZes pump motor relay PMRD to close the normally opencircuit tojthe pump motor PMD to cause the liquid from supply D to be fed to the cylinder to displace it to the point wherein actuator 19 moves out of engagement with CSD. CSD then moves to'n'ormalposition in engagement with contact CSD2 and'opens the circuit through CSDl to ithe-pumpmotor relay,.stopping the pump motor .PMD and completes the feeding of the liquids into the vessel 11; Contact CSD2 connects the feed switch FS mounted on the panel to the power source so that it be- 4 comes operable to control the feeding of the liquid from the cyhnder. It will be seen, therefore, that with the present circuit it is impossible to feed the liquid from i ,the cylinder 11 until all of the'purnps have been operated to supply the required liquidwto the cylinder in proper proportions. a 1

relay to operate in response'to actuation of the feed'start button FS. Thisis accomplished, as shown-in Fig. 2; by

providing a si'gnal circuit controlledby the feedirelay. E. and actuatedby the feed switch PS. The circuit extends from the motor feed-line through contacts FS2 of the feed start switch, normally closed contacts FR2 of the:

feed relay to signal relay SR to the signal S, herein illu strated as a'bell. Thus, when feedswitch FSj is closed,

the relay SR willbe energized'if feed relay FR d oes not operate in its normal manner and breakgthe. signalcilf uit at contacts PS2. A pair of holding .contaetS SRl will close a holding circuit to the relay SR and maintain the signal operative until'the improper operation of thecircuit has been corrected. 7 Also, if itisdesiredrto purge the line at any time this is accomplished by ractuating the manualjpurgeswitch MP5 on the panel which immediately actuates yalye; i

to force the liquid out of the line.

tacts the B, C and D supplies may be by-passed;

In some instances it may be desired to feed part of the proportioned mixture to a Banbury mixer or receiver at a predetermined time in the cycle and feed the balance of the proportioned mixture at a later time in the cycle.

This is accomplished by providing an automatic partial feed circuit. This circuit, as shown in Fig. 3, is adapted to be connected to the circuit of Fig. 2 at the points indicated by X, Y, Z and comprises a partial feed limit switch PPS adapted to be mounted on one of the posts above the cylinders with the other limit switches and adjusted on the post to a position whereby a predetermined volume of the liquid in the mixing cylinder will be fed before the switch actuator 19 engages the switch to close the circuit as shown. PFS is connected into the circuit of the motor disconnect relay at X and to the partial feed relay PPR.

The circuit to the feed solenoid valve FSV passes through the normally closed contacts PPR]. so that as soon as feed relay PR is energized, the solenoid valve FSV will be energized to start the feeding cycle and will move the piston until the piston has moved a predetermined amount whereby the partial feed switch PFS is closed as shown in Fig. 3, energizing the relay PFR to open the circuit contacts at PERT. to the feed solenoid valve relay, whereupon the movement of the piston is stopped. When it is desired to feed the remaining liquid from the cylinder, restart switch RSS is closed energizing relay RSR. The energization of relay RSR will close a circuit to solenoid valve FSV through the contacts RSRl and provide a holding circuit for relay RSR through RSRZ to maintain the relay RSR and solenoid valve operative until the circuit is broken at contact HRl by engagement of the recycling switch RS by the actuator as described above.

If desired, a manual switch PFSM may be provided to open the circuit to the partial feed switch PFS so that the partial feed circuit can be cut out, if desired.

Thus it will be seen that the present invention provides a novel method and apparatus for accurately proportioning and dispensing liquids or the like fluid materials. Further, the apparatus can be manufactured at a relatively low cost, is simple to install and operate and has great flexibility of control whereby the proportions of the liquid fed to the vessel or cylinder can be readily regulated, and when discharged or dispensed from the cylinder to the mixer or receiver therefor can be accurately and completely discharged.

While the present invention is particularly applicable to supply liquid ingredients for use in conjunction with a Banbury mixer, it is to be understood that it may be employed in such other applications Where it is desired to proportion and feed a plurality of liquids or fluid materials.

Variations and modifications may be made within the scope of the claims and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
